Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Ye Ge said slowly and deliberately, "You should all know what your former masters did. They betrayed not only the Qin Empire, but the entire human race! They made deals with the dark races, selling the blood of their own people for wealth and resources, and you were the executioners of those bastards. So you should also know your crimes—don't tell me that you lowly warriors had no choice, because it's useless to tell me. You have to see if the imperial law enforcement officers will listen to your explanations."

"So now, you have two paths before you."

"The first rule is to put on the armor of my Ye family and become a warrior of my Ye family from now on. Follow my Ye family to continue the southward conquest. If you are lucky enough to survive this war in the southern border and perform well, I will help you get away with it and give you a Ye City identity. From now on, you will officially become members of my Ye family."

"Secondly, from this moment forward you are surrendered prisoners, soldiers who rebelled alongside those treacherous traitors! I will hand you over to the Empire, where you will face judgment from the royal family and law enforcement officials!"

The captured soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Hearing this, it seems they have absolutely no choice.

Unsurprisingly, all of the more than one thousand extraordinary warriors chose the first path.

After capturing Tianyue City, Yege showed no intention of resting there. Instead, he led his newly expanded army of over a thousand men straight to the next city.

Night Song knew very well that while Marquis White Elephant and Duke Wang En's 150,000 troops were locked in a tug-of-war, tonight was the best opportunity for them to secure victory, and they absolutely could not waste any time.

Over the next four hours, Nightsong launched attacks on three more cities.

Having learned from the previous experience, this time Ye Ge went straight to the city with a megaphone and urged them to surrender before even entering the city.

And the effect was indeed remarkable. Most of the city's defenders were already intimidated when they heard that the Ye family's army was coming, and now that they could surrender, they raised the white flag immediately. The remaining loyal soldiers who did not surrender were all mercilessly killed by Ye Ge's magic gunners.

The captured soldiers all remembered what Ye Ge had said, so each of them acted extremely bravely, charging forward as if their lives depended on it.

After several battles, the number of soldiers in the Night Song team not only did not decrease, but increased, and the army has expanded to more than 5,000 people. They have also captured several more supernatural war beasts and warhorses.

[System: New message!]

[Song Jie: Boss, I've got the latest intelligence for you! Ye Yulong has already captured three cities, Ye Qingxin has three, and Ye Yang and Ye Mengyu have two each. You guys are the fastest!]

[Night Song: Understood, will investigate further and report back.]

[Song Jie: Okay.]

Ye Ge said, "Ye Yulong and Ye Qingxin have both already conquered the third city."

"Such siege efficiency is truly unheard of..."

Li Shuying was astonished. She had been a swordsman in Wanjian City since she was fourteen, making her a veteran, but she had never seen a siege like this before...

Taking down a city in just over an hour? Is that even possible?

Moreover, most of those four hours were spent traveling! Although there were various war beasts and mounts, there was still a considerable distance between cities. By the time the enemy forces reached the city gates, most of them were already prepared to surrender...

This is absolutely outrageous...

This isn't war; it's practically turned into a race within the Ye family!

“By the way, Young Master Ye Ge,” Li Shuying reminded him, “So much time has passed. The 150,000 allied troops of the traitors must have received the news by now that we’ve raided their home. They’re probably rushing back to defend it! Should we keep an eye on things? Otherwise, what if they attack us from both sides…”

Ye Ge said, "Don't worry about them, they won't be coming back."

"Oh?" Li Shuying was taken aback.

Ye Ge smiled confidently.

An army of so many people is not so easy to mobilize.

With over 100,000 people, evacuation is not an easy task.

After fighting the White Elephant Marquis's army, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

After a major battle, they hadn't even had time to regroup before rushing back to defend; it's no wonder things got chaotic.

The more anxious they are, the more chaotic things will become. As long as they're rushing to defend...

Then their friends waiting for them on their way back to defend will surely give them a big gift.

......

"Wang En is such an idiot!"

"We've been completely outmaneuvered by the Ye family!"

Marquis Sun Ke sat on the back of a Xuanzu beast, his face grim.

Behind them, as far as the eye could see, were war beasts and armies rushing about, the sound of hooves never ceasing, mechanical chariots following closely behind, raising clouds of dust on the Gobi plain, cultivators flying through the sky on their swords, and mages riding on the backs of dragon eagles and griffins flying on both sides, the entire army rushing back at top speed.

As the only marquis among the traitorous allies, and also the only Celestial Realm transcendent besides Wang En, he was originally arranged to be a Celestial Realm expert to oversee the operation in order to ensure the annihilation of the Ye family during this sneak attack.

However, they were outmaneuvered by the Ye family! They didn't see any sign of the Ye family's camp on the Whitewood Plain, yet they still engaged in a fierce battle with Marquis White Elephant's army!

By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late for them to retreat.

Then, I received the news that my house had been burgled...

"My lord, I've heard that the Ye family has marched south and captured over a dozen cities..."

A deputy said nervously from the side, "Our entire army has been mobilized. Tianyue City, Li City, and Han City are all poorly defended. Our soldiers basically surrendered as soon as they saw the Ye family army arrive. They were too fast..."

Sun Ke cursed, "It's all Wang En's decision! That bastard, after his deal with the vampires was exposed, he tried to drag us down with him, and now he's going to lead us to defeat! Being teammates with him is the worst luck imaginable!"
